Description

In this episode, we are joined by entrepreneur and television personality, Barbara Corcoran. While many know Barbara for her business acumen and dynamic presence on Shark Tank, fewer may know the deeply personal and powerful story she shares today—her nine-year journey as a caregiver for her mother, who lived with Alzheimer disease.


In this heartfelt conversation, Barbara opens up about the early signs her family overlooked, the emotional toll of watching her mother's personality shift, and the pivotal moment that changed their approach to caregiving. From practical strategies to navigate agitation in Alzheimer disease, to profound lessons in empathy, patience, and family dynamics, Barbara’s story offers inspiration and wisdom for caregivers and physicians.
